Artmagic: Live at DAda, Sheffield, Thursday 14th June 2012

 

Artmagic is Sean McGhee, who has recorded and mixed No. 1 singles for Britney Spears, sung with Alanis Morissette and worked with Robyn, Sugababes and Imogen Heap, and guitarist Richard Oakes, a member of Suede between 1994 and 2003 and since the band’s 2010 reunion.

“Excellent, classy grown up music…truly beautiful” – Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

 

“An album of sweeping, spectral pop music, with more hits and hooks than a boxing match” – Rick Pearson, Evening Standard

 

“Intricate, dreamy guitar pop from a calmer place” – Andrew Harrison, Word Magazine

 

As the title of Artmagic’s debut album, released on 2nd July, suggests, Become The One You Love documents a journey of musical change and personal self-discovery for both Artmagicians. From the serene dream of the opening “The Choice” and the energy rush of “Down In The River” to the sultry starkness of “The Spark” and the closing torch-song swell of “The Gift Of Flight”, Become The One You Love cuts free from past achievements whilst using the duo’s admirable experience and gifts to carve out 11 songs of radiant melody, textural colour and bulletproof hooks.

 

Perfectly balanced between two sides in every department, with an injection of art and magic, and not forgetting beauty, Artmagic have already gone a long way to underlining the virtues of their name. To borrow the album title, they’ve become the ones they love. And you will too.
